Abstract

In the title compound, C9H9IO3, the mol-ecules are close to planar [maximum deviation from benzene ring plane = 0.229 (5) Å for the methyl carboxylate C atom] with the methyl groups oriented away from each other. In the crystal, mol-ecules form stacked layers parallel to the ab plane, where every layer has either the iodine or meth-oxy/methyl carboxyl-ate substituents pointing towards each other in an alternating fashion.
